2 NOTICE: This manual is intended to provide technical specifications of the SCHMIDLIN range of Membrane Nitrogen Generators, for LCMS and other applications. If you have any further questions, please contact: schmidlin-dbs AG Sarbachstrasse Neuheim / Switzerland Phone: +41 (0) Fax: +41 (0) INTRODUCTION Product Description Schmidlin-DBS nitrogen generators are based on hollow fibre membrane technology, which makes it possible to separate air into nitrogen and a oxygenenriched air stream. The N2-MISTRAL-0-60L nitrogen generator enables you to easily produce nitrogen from compressed air. The N2-MISTRAL-0-60L is designed for like LCMS and others different Application to supplying Nitrogen Gas with the purity and pressure required (like LCMS and others) The N2-MISTRAL-0-60L is made for connection to the Nitrogen user directly. The generator will automatically switch on and off depending on the nitrogen demand. The N2-MISTRAL-0-60L works pneumatically, no electric power supply is needed. The compressed air can be sourced either from a centralized compressed air source or a dedicated air compressor. The installation has virtually no moving parts and a high quality compressed air treatment section, resulting in reliable, trouble free operation with virtually no maintenance. The generator is ready to operate as soon as the compressed air from the compressor is connected.

3 Technical Nitrogen production capacity is 60 liter / min at nominal conditions* N2-MISTRAL-0-60L Nitrogen purity aprox. 98 % Nitrogen flowrate up to 60 Liter/min Pressure drop aprox. 1.3 bar (16 psig) Inlet air pressure 8,5 bar Nitrogen outlet pressure 7.2 bar *nominal conditions: feed pressure at inlet 8,5 bar(g) 120 psig, ambient temperature 20ºC, ambient pressure 1013 mbar(a) For calculations of the capacity at feed pressures other than the nominal: multiply the nominal capacity by correction factor for the pressure at the inlet of the generator Performance table for inlet air pressure correction Pressure [bar(g)] 5.5 6,5 7,5 8,5 9,5 10,5 11,5 12,5 13 Correction factor 0,8 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,1 1,2 1,3 1,35 1,4

4 SPECIFICATIONS Membrane Generators Fast water vapour and oxygen molecules diffuse through the membrane polymer. AIR Nitrogen Slow nitrogen molecules stay within and are delivered as product gas NITROGEN OUTLET PRESSURE see performance table above COMPRESSED AIR SPECIFICATIONS Feed pressure range: 6 bar to 13 bar Higher inlet pressure results higher Nitrogen flow and pressure (see performance table) air temperature range: ºC Pressure dewpoint: < 5 ºC N2 HUMIDITY Dewpoint suppression: -50 ºC AMBIENT CONDITIONS ºC DIMENSIONS AND CONNECTIONS dimensions HxWxD [mm]: 810 x 290 x 190 net weight [kg]: 35 kg connections: G¼ AIR PRE-TREATMENT SECTION NOISE LEVEL 1µ and 0.01µ coalescing filter + carbon filter Less than 45 dba

5 FEATURES Improved safety Nitrogen produced at low pressure and ambient temperature removes the need for high pressure cylinders or liquid dewars. Increased production efficiency A constant, uninterrupted gas supply of guaranteed purity eliminates interruptions of the process by change cylinders and reduces the amount of down time. Improved economy 98% or better of nitrogen gas produced as standard. Simple installation The gas generators can be installed very easily. No electricity required Service Kit MAINTENANCE Approx. Every 4000 h of operation (aprox 2 times per year) the filters need to be changed. This operation can be performed quite simply by the end user, and is described in detail in the user manual.
